I bought some

Yeah, I bought some Series 1.  I needed milk and a few things anyway, so I just got them at the red parallel store on the way home.  I bought two of the $5 36 card packs.  I won't bother with a product review, I think it's all been said.  I'll just post a couple thoughts on each pack


Pack 1:

Got two Angels.  Got Mike Trout in my first pack of the year.  That's promising.

Two former Angels.   That "Future Stars" thing on Segura there looks like a 1989 card.  And did I miss what was going on with Carlos Villanueva there?  His uni isn't retro, but apparently his facial hairstyle is?

I got a hit.  Game used! woohoo! (sarcasm).  Anybody collect Marlins?  Anybody?  I generally don't like inserts.  This pack had a "The Future is Now" (Boring), a "Upper Class" (eh), but I kinda like the "Super Veteran" thing there.  Then again, that's stolen from 1983 Topps, which is right in my wheelhouse.

Lime green?? boo.  And Peavy there isn't a base card.  "Power Players"?

Pack 2:

2 more Angels.

I like this red sparkly parallel.  Its redder in person.  The one insert I did like the last two years was the 1987 and 1972/71 minis.  But this thing?  eh.  Pack 2 was less exciting.  Another "The Future is Now" and another "Upper Class".  If anybody wants an insert, let me know.
